Moving in process but still knitting

The process of purchasing a "short" sale home in Florida while still living in Germany was a long and stressful one.  It's not something I'll do again, but we got a great house in a fantastic neighborhood for a good price.
The house needed some cosmetic updates.  I had the house painted. It's a little lighter than the original color, but that could be just that the old paint had faded.  I had gutter's installed.  It had been my intention to have a slab poured out back by the patio for a hot tub, but I ran out of money. So that will have to wait awhile.
I've moves some furniture in, some purchased used some things given to me by my daughters in-laws.  In fact , I'm concerned that I have too much furniture here that when my household goods arrive from Germany I'll have too much furniture.  We'll see.
During all this I've managed to knit some.  I'm a member of the Raverly CAL/KAL of monthly dishcloth/towels.   I managed to knit 4 dishcloths and a scarf.  Need to get more yarn soon.
